Highlights of the captain’s run = firstly, the 7 year old kid next to us getting a signed ball over the fence from Clarrie. He could’ve popped with joy. Secondly, the ‘hearts’ in my wife’s eyes when Lingers jogged by smiling. I reminded her she was old enough to be his mum and then some. Zero care factor. GO DEES!

Should we rename the session 'Goody's runs'?

Not to defend GNF, but if you hate his/her posts/think they're rubbish; why not just block him/her? Makes for a better site than the current personal attacks.

Players out on the field are the 22 that lined up against Brisbane plus Salem, Van Rooyen, Bedford, Smith, Dunstan minus Jordon

Waltzing off to Richmond board on bigfooty I go..

Does anyone else feel like we're just about to shift into another gear and steamroll through to the GF like last year?

https://imgur.com/gallery/UxqPr9o for my training session pics. My favourite is Jack with the only fan who made it into the middle of the oval.

The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent. No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news. Here's a few pics from the session. ADMIN EDIT: Pics have been move to this posts. Flower Magic's Photos

I honestly don’t care what the FD does with draft picks especially as we are in our window. BUT In no way should COLLINGWOOD. GET. A. FIRST. ROUND. PICK. FOR. GRUNDY. I DGAF what people think about ‘help for Gawn’ or ‘proven finals player’ he is an injury prone player that a club is trying to ‘salary dump’ - you don’t get a good pick back for that. rp out

One of the best things about this session was before it happened. Out on the ground were a whole stack of young kids kicking the ball amonst themselves.....and all wearing Demon jumpers. That hasn't been seen for a number of years. We lost a generation, but we might have snagged the next!

Maybe Geelong did our catering this year.

To be honest, i have not heard this but Interesting audio coming out of the West from Gossage and the guys on 1116 this morning, stating that the needle might have shifted slightly and a 2 year deal at Dees now is not out of the question. Take it for what you want..

Who noticed BT " plenty of time left" there was 18 seconds on the clock !!!! FMD !!!!!

Lachie Neale has the turning circle of an ant and the 2nd best handball game in the AFL. Jeez he’s a player.

I wonder if they are considering Joel as the med sub as he's able to play back or forward and could, at a pinch and with his pace and agility, slot in on a wing.

We need Hibbo for Papley.

A final reminder to keep family out of this. Absolute last warning.

Nothing like a bit of toilet humour to lift the spirits of an immature 70 year old.

JVR, J. Smith, Salem, Dunstan, Bedford in the squad. Williams was again the most vocal out there, making sure they were taking the session seriously. The warm up, then grouped into the four corners, short kicks to coach with some run and handball receive. Another drill finishing with hitting the yellow target. They split into their line squads and did their stuff. Mids practising clearances, forwards working the marking bag and backs shuffling the ball around. In the 3/4 paced, no cotact sims against the coaches (they started with possession, Yze, bog), we had plenty of structure, voice, spread and then finding a corridor off the backline, and finishing with a goal. Finished the session with some goal kicking. No Hibbs. Rehab had Woewodin and Moniz-wakefield, Moniz-wakefield later joined the seconds in their run. I couldn't see a coffee truck, there were, activities for the kids and merchandise they were giving away, small flags, plastic cups and key rings with pictures of players on them. Just saw the text from WCW, apparently sausages. Great crowd, I thought the players were a bit overwhelmed, would have preferred to have a few more spectators at their previous sessions so as to make it feel normal. Could work the other as well, and get them fired up, though I prefer the stability and controlling the environment, plus, gives us a bit more of a connection.

Don’t tell Chris Scott.

LJ may want to go home, but he also doesn’t want to “leave” The MFC. he loves the place. i don’t think he has signed anything yet, but that is a gut feel only. I disagree with what GNF said vehemently. The Family have no problem with the MFC. At this stage i just hope LJ has a phenomenal Finals Series…..

Who's pumped for Tomorrow!?!? ❤️💙

Melky..."See what happens when you miss fellas!"

Patrons were told that contact with the players would be limited to non-existent and that players wouldn't be signing, taking selfies or having a chat. Some players at the end were skirting the boundary giving high fives. I was concerned that this would expose players to COVID but now I'm afraid I may have been exposed to Gastro. Fingers crossed.

Managed to get down, owe the boss one! Great to see everyone and thanks to everyone for their hard work putting the event on!

Well done to MFC for a great public event. Players looked most impressive. TMac looking v good training with the seconds. Moving really well.

T Mac confirmed to not play tomorrow Chaplin also confirmed Goody has had no contact with players

dusty seems to know a few sheilas, maybe he could help?

It’s because you spoke absolute BS about his mum. Met and spoken to the family on a few occasions and you as on previous occasions in many other threads you’re full of it

A little update on some recent posts: “Nervous as s**t, I hope we don’t go to water, I don’t think we will” “A win will be extraordinary for this group bigger than beating Port in 2003. “super confident could be us by 10 goals” “IMO this will be the closest game of the four as we are the only two teams who can win the flag I reckon.” “The longer the week gets the more confident I get.” re - “I’m the complete opposite. I'm settled down for 30point loss.” “Hope the boys go into this with no fear. We've worked for the double chance and I'll back us in to do it the hard way if we lose. Pressure is on Melbourne here. Just have to go in with manic pressure and hope they break at some point.” “David King tips us...... We are screwed” “The more I think about it, the more I reckon we'll win this by 40+. Gawn, Oliver, Petracca are no where near their form last year and can't drag their side over the line this year.” - lol what? "Some big statements being made here around the outcome of this game. 40 and 50 point margins in a QF against the reigning premier on their home ground who once again finished top 2. Ridiculous." “More I think about it, the more I think no matter what happens we are likely to concede in the midfield. Luckily, we are very good at absorbing inside 50's and generate majority of our scores off turnover/ from defence. If we can break 40/60 in the midfield it will go a long way to winning the game.” "I tipped us but by less than 2 goals. Anyone thinking a 30+ win might be very surprised by how good the Demons are. They could belt us tbh." “More I think about it, the more I think no matter what happens we are likely to concede in the midfield. Luckily, we are very good at absorbing inside 50's and generate majority of our scores off turnover/ from defence. If we can break 40/60 in the midfield it will go a long way to winning the game.”

Best game I’ve seen since Carlton v Collingwood two games ago. 2022 has been amazing.

I'm not saying I'm a genius or nothing!😁

Hahaha. They started playing the Tigers theme.

Why? both backlines in this game are practising Social Distancing!

Hopefully we aren't playing next week

JVR now seems ahead of Weid in the eyes of the club

I have no fkin idea what's going on with Dogga. And I doubt anybody else posting in this thread does either

She can big note herself all she likes if the board remains stable and club continues to be successful.

Back to actual training talk. Viney was tutoring Sparrow at the end of training on the art of dodging your opponent at stoppage by starting behind your opponent and then grabbing them and shoving them behind you as you go forward. He was then tutoring him on grabbing the ball with your arms up so you can still handball it off in a tackle.

Hibbo has the runs on the board or will by the end of the day *ah-thank-you

Hoping these three have a decent night!

Or a cork.

I re-watched the rd 12 game. They were gifted 2 goals from frees in the last 3m and won by 11pts. They played out of their skins, We were terrible. Langdon was 1st game back with a busted rib, Salem 1st game back, no Steven May, Petty went off in 1st qtr with a leg problem - on and off all game, Fritsch was playing his 'selfish' football and cost us goals. We bombed the ball into our fwd line and McCartin x 2 creamed us. Logan McDonald had a day out and Papley was one on one with Hunt a number of times in the last line. It won't happen like that again. We are favourites for a reason.

I knew Goody shouldn't have had that snag in bread.

Word on the street is his mum wants him to play for Melbourne.
